Growing up, friends dad actually made us hockey nets for driveway hockey..and we'd play every afternoon in winter after school (tar driveway, wasn't fun if it was dry with no snow cover.) He plowed the driveway perfect where the snow stayed packed for us rather than melted from the sun when there was some. It was a great thing in the winter, though between that and playing basketball the last 14 years I think my knees hate me

Even a BAD day of fishing is better than a good day of work; paydays excluded!

In the 6 or 7 or whatever years of playing.. as we called it 'boot hockey' I never did take one in the face.. not even while playing the 'goal tender'. I think EVERYONE took it somewhere ELSE though at least once a winter, hence the reason *I* think it's called goal "tender."
